Made with Kelbourne Woolens Germantown and perfect for cozying up with a cup of tea, some needlework, and a binge-worthy show, these fun, funky, vintage-inspired slippers make for a quick gift for the loungewear lover in your life.

In conjunction with the release of the design, we’re offering limited kits that include one skein of Germantown in sage, a size 5.00/H crochet hook, Loome 5-in-1 tool, and a postcard with a code to download the pattern for free. Find the kit on our site here or ask for it at your favorite LYS!

Worthy of Note
These funky vintage-inspired house slippers are worked in three pieces, then joined using single crochet. A large square forms the bottom and sides, while two small squares form the top of the foot/toe and back heel.
